It's a shame, but it certainly looks like Mad Max isn't actually coming out for SteamOS & Linux. We covered it initially thanks to being told about the press release, but nothing since then. The developers have been utterly silent on it, which is quite annoying. It's one thing to announce something and publicly state it's no longer happening, but to be totally silent on it is just weird.

It's highly probable having SteamOS in the press release was an "accident", but it's also likely it was planned and silently dropped.

The sad thing is, the Steam forum post asking about it has now been locked after it was totally derailed. In part this was thanks to the moderator "Laptop65" who also moderates a number of other Steam forums, and he's quite anti-Linux. I won't link to it directly, as I don't want to start a witch hunt.

Time to move on, and carry on supporting the developers that bring us lovely games. People keep tweeting and emailing in asking about it, so I'm telling you now: move on.

On a different topic: Do you have any contacts to Codemasters? I just got a Steam key for Dirt Rally and would like to know if a SteamOS/Linux version is planned, not that unlikely since DiRT Showdown has a Linux version.

The mod involved is incredibly hard work. He's not an official source, but as pointed out the article, if the devs actually had news regarding SteamOS, they would have shared it by now. I've spent a small fortune in games over the past 5 weeks or so and had to forgo plenty of excellent material in the process.

I can't remember what other game forum that guy was moderating but remember him being really sarcastic and snarky to everyone. To be fair though, if I had to moderate forums for a living then I would also lose the will to live.
